A scary crash happened in Australia after an NRL rugby game. A car drove into a crowd of fans who were standing on the street. Ten people were hurt in the crash.
Among the injured is a five-year-old child. That child is now in an induced coma, which is a special sleep doctors use to help the brain heal after a bad injury.
The driver of the car is a "P-plater." In Australia, this means they are a new driver who still has to follow extra rules because they are just starting to learn how to drive safely.
The police have arrested the driver. A judge decided that the driver cannot be let out of jail while they wait for their trial. This is called being denied bail.
Officials are still looking into exactly how the crash happened. The news has shocked the community, as the fans were just trying to enjoy the rugby event when the tragedy took place.
